works.

Thanks to Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven for the fix.

Fixed a wrong assumption in configure.in and Include/pyport.h. The is finite function is not called isfinite() but finite(). Sorry, my fault. :)

Thanks to Alberto Bertogli for the patch

The patch unifies float("inf") and repr(float("inf")) on all platforms.

run it and check in the resulting configure file.

Georg Brandl has added fchmod() and fchown(). I've contributed lchown but I'm not able to test it on Linux. However it should be available on Mac and some other flavors of Unix.
I've made a quick test of fchmod() and fchown() on my system. They are working as expected.

--with-system-ffi configure option defaults to "yes" because the
bundled libffi sources are too old.

get_completion_type to readline.

by the Makefile is also used at configure-time.

will be removed in Python 2.7.

functions on platforms where the underlying system calls are available.

Will backport to 2.5

it if it is supported.

- Bug #1578513: Cross compilation was broken by a change to configure.
Repair so that it's back to how it was in 2.4.3.

stdint.h. Will backport.

Will backport.

In addition to testing positive numbers, verify negative numbers work in configure.
In order to avoid compiler warnings on OS X 10.4, also change the order of the check
for the format character to use (PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T) in the sprintf format
for Py_ssize_t.  This patch changes PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T from "" to "l" if it wasn't
defined at configure time.  Need to verify the buildbot results.

Backport candidate (if everyone thinks this patch can't be improved).

Fixes #1439538
Will backport to 2.4
Also regenerate pyconfig.h.in.

configure uses similar compiler flags as setup.py when doing the zlib test.

Without this patch configure would use the first shared library on the linker
path, with this patch it uses the first shared or static library on that path
just like setup.py.

is_term_resized, resize_term and resizeterm. This uses three
separate configure checks (one for each function).
